New fishing show season.

2013-01-21T21:33:58-05:00

Any new shows or old shows that have been particularly good or bad you’ve seen so far this year?

I was rather disappointed in the Bass Pros I saw today on my DVR, the “In Depth” was just 2 segments of Clunn talking about the history of popping/chugging baits. *yawn* When, where, how are questions I want answered when they go in depth, not the history of the lure & certainly not 2 segments worth of it. I seen Velvick has a new show & I haven’t seen City Limits, so I guess that’s gone. I wish they hadn’t got rid of Ike for that, he was perfect for that show.

Newbie from NY

Took a guy out today from NY that has never fished before. He had a blast!!!! he caught about 30 fish including two that were over 3lbs. And just for fun, I had him hook a gator that he fought his A—off. All his fish and gator was on a green red flake fluke on spinning tackle. He had so much fun he booked next Sat. as well. 6hrs of fishing for $350. plus a $50. tip. The best part was I fished also. Not bad. BH

Perks of my new job…..

First off I already recieved a pro-rated quartly bonus even though I work through a temp service.

Now Ive discovered a sign up sheet for the 5th annual Aisin Bass Tournament. Working on finding a partner and a boat, the only stimulations to the tournament is one member of each team must work there (full time or temp) and all boats must have a working live well.

alive and well

Hey everybody!!!! it’s been a long time, I was having problems logging on. Hope everybody is well and have been fishing. The fishing down south has been on for a while now. They’ve been hitting just about anything you throw. I have lots of pictures. I’ve gotten into the tour guide business and really enjoy taking newbies out and especially kids. Soooo! what’s the hot bait?? I rigged the umbrella rig with my Squirtbait. Really crazy. Better use braid though. lol lol I tried it with all six colors and didn’t catch a thing. Then I put all shad color and started killing them. I went to the lake Big O and tried it with all my gold wild shinner and again killed them. I caught three at one time and two at one time a few times although they were small. After throwing for an hour my arms were about to fall off because of the weight. lol lol It’s really a work out. Tight lines. BH

Well this sucks

Well guys, in case some of you haven’t already heard. I was injured in training about 6 weeks ago. Once again, my knee cap dislocated. I was just informed by the doctor on Thursday that I am probably going to be getting Med-boarded :( For those of you that don’t know what that is, it is the process to get a medical discharged. I don’t know if I am going to get an ELS (entry level speration) or a Medical Discharge. Either way it sucks and I wish I didn’t get injured. I have no clue what I am going to do know because I am not the type that has any desire to get an education. All I want to do is just WORK! Unfortunately I am probably going to have no other option than to go to college and try to get a good degree in something that I am interested in. I don’t know what that will be since all I could really see myself doing was the military right out of HS. This is gonna be tough.
